Example

The following VB example adds the position CEO to the current record of the parent business component, and updates the Opportunity Assignment Type field. The parent business component can be any business component that includes the Sales Rep multi-value group.

Dim oParentBC as BusComp
Dim oMvgBC as BusComp
Dim oAssocBC as BusComp

Set oParentBC = me.BusComp
Set oMvgBC = OpBC.GetMVGBusComp("Sales Rep")
Set oAssocBC = oMvgBC.GetAssocBusComp

With oAssocBC
   .SetSearchSpec "Id", newPosId
   .ExecuteQuery
   .Associate NewAfter
End With

oMvgBC.SetFieldValue "Opportunity Assignment Type", NewType

Set oAssocBC = Nothing
Set oMvgBC = Nothing
Set oParentBC = Nothing

Here is the equivalent example in Siebel eScript.

var oParentBC = this.BusComp();
var oMvgBC = oParentBC.GetMVGBusComp("Sales Rep");
var oAssocBC = oMvgBC.GetAssocBusComp();

with (oAssocBC)
{
   SetSearchSpec("Id", newPosId);
   ExecuteQuery();
   Associate(NewAfter);
}

oMvgBC.SetFieldValue("Opportunity Assignment Type", NewType);

oAssocBC = null;
oMvgBC = null;
oParentBC = null;
